Help with Preventing Patient Falls in Hospitals


Patient Safety Awareness Week

Help with Preventing Patient Falls in Hospitals

Nearly one million patients fall in U.S. hospitals each year. A new online toolkit, "Preventing Falls in Hospitals: A Toolkit for Improving Quality of Care", can help hospitals reduce falls that occur during a patient's hospital stay. The Toolkit addresses hospital readiness, program management, choosing fall prevention practices, implementation, measurement, and sustainability.  To find out more, visit http://www.ahrq.gov/professionals/systems/long-term-care/fallpxtoolkit/fallpxtk5.html
